Chapter 720: Shi Cai Lin, the Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Translator: 549690339

The small is hidden in the forest, the big is hidden in the city.

South City, Xiuchun Lane.

The people living in this area were all commoners. They lived in the lower levels of the capital. The courtyards were dilapidated, and so were the streets. Some places were potholes, and some bricks were missing in the middle, as if they had been stolen. There were piles of abandoned garbage in the corners.

There were many of them, and they were also very tall, emitting a strong stench.

They were both in the capital and in the south. The workshops were different from each other, and the environment was also very different.

Number 121.

The mansion was very big, close to the city wall, with four entrances and four exits. No matter how cheap the house was, it was not cheap to set up a house with such a huge area. The interior was completely different from the outside.

If the outside was a garbage dump or a kennel, it was a paradise on earth. There was a Qi Restraining Formation arranged to hide the scenery in the mansion. Outsiders could not see it. The ground was covered with priceless purple patterned bricks. The beams, doors and windows were all made of thousand-year-old purple wood, rockery, and artificial lake. There were rare and expensive flowers and plants planted here. It was like spring all year round. No matter how the seasons changed, the courtyard was full of spring and bathed in the fragrance of flowers.

There was no one outside, and the defense inside was strict. There was a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps. The further in they went, the tighter the defense became, and the stronger the guards were. They had big bronze eyes, looked fierce, and did not smile. They emitted an iron-blooded and fierce aura. If one looked carefully, one would find that these people were like death warriors. They did not have any emotions and were born to kill.

Back courtyard, lakeside, pavilion.

A young woman called Shi Cai Lin was wearing an expensive purple dress and a moon-white veil. The veil was decorated with golden lines, covering her face, revealing only her eyes that contained wisdom. She sat on a stone bench, and a zither was placed on the stone table. It was made of top-grade sandalwood, and the strings were extraordinary. It was actually made from the tendons of a phoenix. Just this zither alone was priceless. Ten slender, white, and jade-like fingers were playing the zither.

Her hair was tied up and fixed with two phoenix hairpins, representing that she was already married or had performed the rites of the Duke of Zhou. What was missing was a title.

The sound of the zither rang out. Judging from his zither skills, he had already reached the sixth level of the skill of approaching the Dao, standing at the peak. Just this point alone was enough to surpass 99% of people. She was clearly beautiful, but the artistic conception she played was lonely, gloomy, and helpless. It was as if she was hiding something. She clearly had monstrous power, but she could not solve it.

Behind her stood two middle-aged women in long dresses. They were like bodyguards, protecting her closely. Other than them, there were even more guards in the courtyard.

At this moment.

An uninvited guest appeared outside the mansion. He had an old face and his hands were behind his back. He didn’t give off any aura and wore a bright yellow dragon robe with four claws. His name was Zhu Jiutian, the Grand Elder of the Candle Dragon Clan. This time, he had received a message from the higher-ups that Zhu Huang had mysteriously disappeared and was suspected to have been killed by the Fate Academy. He was asked to investigate this matter and to take care of a person. As for the owner of the mansion, he was just casually hunting a rabbit.

” What?” He looked at the white fog in the courtyard and sneered.” You think a mere Qi Restraining Formation can stop me?”

Stepping forward, he turned into a green light and forcefully passed through the formation. He appeared in the courtyard. The guards around him reacted very quickly. As expected of a death warrior who had been strictly trained.

Almost as soon as he appeared, they rushed up and took out dozens of Black Demon Beads and smashed them fiercely. They were densely packed and wanted to kill the enemy.

Zhu Jiutian casually waved his hand, and azure light scattered down, forming an azure barrier that enveloped the residence. It protected this place from the sounds of battle and prevented the people in the residence from escaping.

He didn’t even look at the Black Demon Beads that were shooting towards him and walked straight towards the backyard. The person he wanted to kill was

A green light shot out from his body and swept across the Black Demon Pearl.

Chi chi..

It could easily kill a Connate spiritual creature. With so many of them, even a grandmaster would have to retreat. However, they actually dissipated without even making a sound.

The green light continued to sweep through the area. Wherever it passed, the guards were killed. Blood rained down, dyeing the ground red and emitting a thick smell of blood.

In the backyard.

Shi Cai Lin paused for a moment. She raised her beautiful eyes and looked in the direction of the front courtyard. When she heard the commotion, she did not panic at all. She was still calm and composed, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her.

The music that had stopped sounded once again. It was different from the artistic conception that it contained just now. This time, it was cold and murderous, like an ancient battlefield. It contained monstrous killing intent and existed for slaughter.

The surrounding guards hurriedly rushed up and protected her tightly. The two middle-aged women lowered their eyelids and a cold light flashed in their eyes. This place had been exposed. Someone had found this place. He didn’t go because he was afraid that the other party would lure him away.

A few breaths later.

Zhu Jiutian walked in with his hands behind his back. The guards in the courtyard pulled out their swords and charged forward. With the intention of dying, they abandoned their defenses and only attacked. They executed their sword techniques to the acme of perfection, ignoring the consumption of their inner qi. They wanted to finish off the intruder.

Compared to the guards outside, their strength was not just a little bit stronger. They cooperated well and even used formations to fight the enemy. However, they were still not enough.

“Are you counting on these small fries?”

With a wave of his sleeve, a large green light swept out and landed on their bodies.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

An explosion sounded and they were instantly destroyed, leaving only Shi Cai Lin and the two middle-aged women.

Zhu Jiutian took a step forward and appeared ten steps away from them. He sized them up and commented,” Although his looks are average and can only be considered as first-class, his aura is unique. It will be unforgettable if you see him. It will leave a deep mark in your heart.”

‘ You’re not the Crown Prince’s subordinate!” Shi Cai Lin stopped and withdrew her finger before standing up calmly.

Pa! Pa!

Zhu Jiutian clapped his hands and a rare smile appeared on his wrinkled face.” The higher-ups have sent news that you have everything planned out. You are in control of the overall situation and can decide the fate of countless people with a single word. It seems that you are indeed extraordinary.”

“Darkness!” Shi Cailin coldly replied.

“Congratulations on guessing correctly! ”

“Kill me and frame the Crown Prince?”

“You guessed it again.”

Shi Cai Lin was silent. If she died, he would definitely pay any price to take revenge because her value was too great. Everything he had today was all because of her.

Zhu Jiutian’s gaze fell on the two middle- aged women. He squinted his eyes and licked his lips. The taste is not bad. I’m in luck this time..”
